We have checked in with all of the World Race teams (January and June) that are currently in Southeast Asia and all are fine.  Many did not know that an earthquake had occured in that part of the world.  All of the teams are at locations that are at least several hundred miles from where the epicenter of the quake in Indonesia.

The teams in Phuket that are relatively close to the coast (the closest were appx 1/2 mile) are working closely with their host ministries and were prepared to evacuate in the event of a tsunami.  However, this does not appear to be a concern at this point.

Please continue to pray for all of our brothers and sisters in Indonesia and the surrounding countries.  They are heading into the night time now, as they are 11 hours ahead of the U.S. East Coast time.
